I want my meat cooked! I don't even like my steak pink in the middle! I can't understand what is so special about eating raw fish! 
Makes me shudder to think about it. People stopped doing that when fire was invented! :eeek: OK, but before you gobble down a raw fish, 
, take a look at this;
Well raw fish eaters, I have to be honest with you. There is a big potential problem here. It involves something that's small, pink, and crawls. HINT: You're not likely to chuck it under the chin and go, "Ooh, CUTE Baby Snookums." You got it, pal. Worms. Eating raw fish can result in anisakiasis, an infection caused by an infestation of Anisakis worm larvae. Now, don't panic, it's not that bad. They're not BIG worms. Not like one of those tapeworms, which can be a foot or two in length and take up more room in your abdominal cavity than you do. No, these are LITTLE worms. They grow up to a mere one inch in length. This is not comforting you, I can tell. Sorry, I'm doing the best I can. If you're lucky, the worms will wind up in your stomach, where the chief symptom is generally a sudden attack of intolerable pain. It starts within 12 hours after eating the affected fish and continues for two or three days, until the worms expire. If you're not as fortunate, the larvae head down to your intestines, where they can take up permanent residence. You could think of them as low-maintenance pets. I mean, you don't have to walk them. To be considerate, every once in a while you could sort of jiggle, so they get some exercise. As for eating — well, I guess they take care of that on their own.
